Pull request overview
This PR speeds up the unidimensional 2PL MMLE-EM estimator by vectorizing the Newton–Raphson M-step across items (using an active mask) to reduce Python-loop overhead in fit_mmle_2pl.
Changes:
- Vectorized the per-item Newton–Raphson M-step in
fit_mmle_2plusing 2D broadcasting and anactiveboolean mask. - Updated a transitive Rust dependency lock entry (
pollster) incrates/fast-mlsirm-py/Cargo.lock. - Added a new performance note to
.jules/bolt.mdabout MMLE vectorization (needs date/order correction).

| **Learning:** During gradient calculation, `float((e * (-gamma * distance)).sum())` creates two full-size `(N, J)` arrays: one for the scaled distance and one for the element-wise multiplication before reduction. | ||
| **Action:** Replace `(A * B).sum()` with `np.vdot(A, B)` when scalar reduction is needed over matrix multiplication (where `B` can incorporate scalars naturally like `-gamma * np.vdot(A, B)`). This entirely avoids the 2D array allocation overhead and yields order-of-magnitude improvements in scalar gradient components. | ||

Replaced sequential item loops in the Newton-Raphson MMLE updates with a fully vectorized NumPy approach using an `active` mask. This reduces the estimation time from ~9.3s to ~2.0s on large datasets without altering algorithm behavior.

💡 What: Rewrote the
fit_mmle_2plfunction's Newton-Raphson M-step to use vectorized NumPy arrays and anactiveboolean mask instead of a sequential Pythonforloop over each item.🎯 Why: Python loop overhead is a major bottleneck in performance-critical iterative algorithms. Computing parameters for 100+ items sequentially is significantly slower than processing them all simultaneously using vectorized operations.
📊 Impact: Decreases MMLE estimation time by approximately 75% (e.g., from ~9.3s to ~2.0s on a dataset of 2,000 persons and 100 items).
🔬 Measurement: Verified by running benchmark scripts locally (showing 5x improvement on random synthetic data) and confirming mathematical equivalence against the original Python loop. Tests pass in CI via
